Default RE: Mosqitobite TriPacer going on the workbench.

As promised, here are some shots of the covered wing. It takes a rather large piece of fabric to do this in one pass. The tot of the cabin extends back beyond the trailing edge so you must add about 4 inches to cover it all. You can see the tabs at the tip ribs; they get pulled down and under to cover the exposed wood of the ribs. The TriPacer is the first project Ihave built using the Koverall fabric. You can use heat activated glue but the Nitrate dope process was recommended and I think it works great. The fabric can be moved around wile the dope is drying so wrinkles are not a problem. If you can stand the dope fumes this is the way to go. I have covered with paper, silk, pre-glued fabric, and plastic. I think I have found a new favorite.
